Rag and Bone

• Stardate 239403 to Present

The crew of the Veritas must stop an abandoned freighter caught in a tetryon storm and carrying hazardous materials from crashing into a planet home to a pre-warp civilization.

Important Plot Elements

• 

  The Maelstrom

• Maelstrom: A massive and deadly tetryon storm known to the locals as the "Rag and Bone Man" due to the numerous ships, debris, and other space junk it collects along its path in between the Shadows and Missirian's Pass.
• Tiburon 433: The call sign for the freighter Tiburon, a large class 2 freighter carrying hazardous materials, including theta radiation emitting industrial wastes from Karakka
• Kallo Ver: A Valtese 'trader' once arrested by Lt. Commander Blake for smuggling narcotics colonial space. He escaped from the Edria City marshall's office about a month later. He was apparently on board the freighter Tiburon when it destroyed Yorba Station, and is the only known survivor of the incident.
• Thralta, The Rogue Planet: A class-M rogue planet located within a calm pocket of the maelstrom. Without a sun, it's unclear how it retains enough warmth to maintain a class-M status, but a post-industrial society equivalent to mid-twentieth century Earth has evolved. Evan Delano and Nikki Ryan were somehow transported across a significant distance onto the planet's surface where they encountered a group of aliens fleeing from something called the Cull. They had intended to trade a significant amount of very dense dilithium in exchange for transport to safety - apparently off world. The aliens indicated that a number of their family members had already been taken away.
• Thraltans: The native species to the Rogue Planet name themselves as Thraltans. A few of them had been moved from the planet in exchange for dilithium from the planet. A man named Kallo Ver had made that deal with some of the inhabitants who were prosecuted by some people from the planet, who were abusing these people and it seems that the government can't or don't want to help them. The Veritas has transported a few of those that were supposed to meet Mr. Kallo but instead found a lost party of the Veritas. Captain Rahman considered that it wasn't a violation of the Prime Directive, as it's been already broken, and ordered them aboard. It remains to be seen what will happen with them and with the rest of the people spread through the Shoals
